This morning I had a vision of a giant heart and as I looked, I saw this heart being opened. As it opened, I saw all kind of stuff within; garbage, maggots and rubbish and I begin to smell the foul odor coming from it. I ask God, what is it you want to tell me about this heart? Then I began to write and the Spirit of The Lord said, “Share this with My people, for this is what I AM doing in them in this hour.”

Thus saith the Spirit of The Lord, I am pulling back the covers of your heart to expose the sewage that lies within, that I may dig out those things which have cause rottenness and decay to enter into your soul.

I am removing the inner issues that have made thee sad and miserable and have cause thee to not be able to enjoy life. I am uprooting the years of hurt and pain that have been concealed and hidden, saith The Lord.

I see all the things which have cause you to be bitter and even angry. Yes, you lash out at others, because of these emotional pains within thee. You are poisoned in your soul because you have not been delivered and made whole from these things, saith The Lord.

Arise and come again to the Potter’s house, for you are marred and tarnished and warped and crushed in your soul. Your spirit is yet wounded and it is not healed, saith The Lord.

Yes, I have used thee, I have even gifted thee, but now, saith The Lord, it is time to fix thee!

Unwrap your emotions, for you have hidden these things to long and they are troublesome to thee. You have cried, but in bitterness of heart, but you have not cried to Me for victory!

You have prayed for Me to give vengeance to your enemies, but you have not prayed for Me to deliver thee.

Come away My beloved, unto Me, for it is time for Me to release your soul, for the inner turmoil is becoming too much for thee and you are driving happiness away from thee.

It was not the enemy who withdrew people from thee, it was the pain of your spirit that cause people to run away from thee. Now the time has come, saith The Lord, and I can no longer let you stand in this hurt and anger and hate any longer. It is purging time and pruning season in your life.

Yes, you must now forgive. You must put these hidden things away from thee. You must allow Me to open up thy heart and cleanse thee! I must lay the axe to the roots within thee. I shall uproot, I shall cut, I shall not stop until I have completely cleansed thee of these years of pain, these wounded years, that have paralyzed thee and cause thee to be lost in a world of confusion.

Your mind will be set free and the memories of those things will no longer control thee. Yes it will hurt, because I must uncover the dirt within thee, but know this, it’s because of My love for thee that I will allow it, so that I can deliver and set you totally and completely free, saith The Spirit of the Lord.

There is a shaking going on, but this shaking is happening within us, within our hearts, within our minds and within our souls. It’s to give us freedom from the pain that has been locked within.

For too long, people have accused others for being the reason for their lashing-outs, their not maintaining friendships or relationships, but the enemy has not been without, the enemy, for the whole time, has been within!

Today, The Lord is saying that the mask comes off!! No longer will we be able to pretend or ignore the inner turmoils. Freedom is available today. Let God do the surgery on your heart, your mind and your soul, so your spirit can be free of all these things that have tainted your walk with The Lord.

NOTE: It all begins with you acknowledging that Lord I have a problem within.
